Overview
- The Mets parted with multiple coaches, with Jeremy Hefner, Jeremy Barnes, Eric Chavez and Mike Sarbaugh dismissed, Glenn Sherlock retiring, John Gibbons resigning and assistants Desi Druschel and José Rosado permitted to speak with other teams.
- Carlos Mendoza remains in place as manager after the team missed the postseason.
- FanSided’s Mark Powell floated Ron Washington as a potential replacement for the third-base and infield role, with Newsweek noting his Braves championship tenure and recent Angels exit, and it is unclear if he seeks another job.
- Former Mets All-Star Edgardo Alfonzo told amNewYork he wants to join the staff, citing prior roles as a bench coach and minor league manager in the organization.
- Sarbaugh’s exit is notable given his work with Brett Baty, and the coaching reset aligns with broader offseason evaluations that include looming decisions on likely free agents Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz.
